A little too heavy at times
There are some good songs- but nothing like the first album. A good album worth hearing, but the teenage hopefullness from his first album has faded into a false sense of maturity and without the same freshness.


A John Mayer Gallery
He first creates a picture frame,then brush to paper,he starts to paint a masterpiece. John has portrayed an extremely mature musical concept of where he wants to take his listener. The story of the song comes alive and surrounds the heart of the listener with symmetry,metaphor,irony,prosody,alliteration and commitment to organized thought,weight and feel. He evokes the listeners senses with"visual writing" that means something. Pick any one of his "Heavier Things" songs "Clarity","New Deep","Home Life","Wheel", or "Daughters" as an example of these traits and superb qualities. Colorful lyrics, as his, are hard to come by, only an exquisite forsight into language accomplishes this. He presents an uncanny knowledge of how to take you on his senses journey. I am a very appreciative listener of everything encountered by John Mayer's artistic ability. I look forward to enjoying his talent for a long time. Happy listener who can't get enough says, thanks , for the review space. JLHT[ june hunt-thomas] Barrie,Ont. Canada .


David Baerwald & John Mayer ??
The songs and the way they are sung are so familiar to me. They have to be related. So many doubles for example sirens in the city,come back to bed(mayer) colette (baerwald). Mayer is either his son or has taken on his voice and style, kinda hard to do and make it. Anyone else thinking this?.


Great album, BAD BAD format!


Secondly, it's really hit and miss to find a cd player that will work the dual discs. First of all, Dual Discs are NOT a high resolution sound format! The DVD side's sound is merely Dolby Digital or PCM encoded information and no better than any soundtrack on a feature film that is released on DVD! And the sampling rates are very very similar to CD anyway! You basically get a two sided disc that HOPEFULLY works on one of your players. A cheap one or car cd player may do it, but my expensive Denon won't! If you want a high resolution version get the hard to find SACD version or just buy the regular run of the mill, Audio CD version.
